1. If used and stored in accordance with specifications, it will not decompose and avoid contact with oxides. Flammable liquid, avoid direct sunlight. Due to the low boiling point and high volatility, it is forbidden to use the fire source nearby. It is not corrosive to metals.
2. Insoluble in water, it is miscible with acetone, ether, ethyl acetate, benzene, chloroform and alcohol above methanol. It dissolves coumarin resins, triglycerides, rosin esters and other synthetic materials. Partially soluble rosin, asphalt, mastic and aromatic resins. Insoluble shellac and alkaloids. Except castor oil, most liquid oils are soluble, while solid oils are slightly soluble. Fatty acids are soluble and hydroxy acids are insoluble, so the mixed hydroxy acids in fatty acids can be separated by petroleum ether. Raw rubber and vulcanized rubber expand significantly in petroleum ether. Chlorinated rubber, nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate and benzyl cellulose are insoluble in petroleum ether.
3. Its chemical properties are similar to those of lower alkanes.
1. It is also a good organic solvent for organic synthesis and chemical raw materials, such as synthetic rubber, plastics, nylon monomer, synthetic detergent, pesticide, etc.
2. It is mainly used as extraction agent and refining solvent of perfume, oil, etc.
3. Used as analytical reagent, commonly used as solvent, extractant and chromatographic reagent.
4. Used as organic solvent and chromatographic analysis solvent.
5. It can be used as organic solvent, extractant and additive for fine chemical synthesis.
